About Shipping in Detroit
Detroit, Michigan is the heart of the American automotive industry and sits directly across the border from Windsor, Ontario. The Ambassador Bridge and Detroit-Windsor Tunnel are among the busiest commercial border crossings in North America. The city's auto industry heritage makes it a natural hub for vehicle production and transport.
Cross-border shipping to Canada via the Ambassador Bridge requires customs clearance and can experience delays. I-75 connects Detroit to Toledo, Cincinnati, and the Southeast, while I-94 links to Chicago and Ann Arbor. Auto industry connections mean many carriers are based in or regularly serve the Detroit metro area.
